Everyday thoughts, discoveries, and passing notes, kept in their unpolished flow.
I’d recommend a code agent product I’ve been using recently: OpenClacky. I topped up $20 and have been using the DeepSeek V4 Flash model. So far, it’s been surprisingly cheap — I haven’t even used up $1 a day.
One issue I’ve run into though: when the agent is actively working in the terminal, if I try to enter a new task at the same time, the whole thing just freezes and stops responding for quite a while. So now I usually wait for the current task to finish before sending the next instruction.
Huashu Design , Say one sentence to your agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes all work.
3 to 30 minutes — you ship a product launch animation, a clickable App prototype, an editable PPT deck, a print-grade infographic.
Not "decent for AI" quality — it looks like a real design team made it. Give the skill your brand assets (logo, colors, UI screenshots) and it reads your brand's voice; give it nothing and the built-in 20 design vocabularies still keep you out of AI slop territory.
teco-lab.com, this website for learning spoken English through English vlogs is really well done. A lifetime membership only costs RMB 39.9. Since I watch English vlogs quite often, I had actually thought about building a similar English learning website myself. But now it seems I don’t need to anymore.

A few days ago, I tried translating a PDF ebook using Ollama with a local Qwen 3.5:4b model. Translation speed wasn't an issue, but the final layout turned out poorly. My workflow was to first convert the PDF to Markdown, translate it, and then generate a new PDF. However, the bilingual vertical layout (Chinese-English) in the resulting PDF was hard to read and very uncomfortable.
I looked into this problem and realized PDF text layout is indeed difficult to handle. Different books have different content and require different presentation styles. Optimizing and adjusting the layout for each book costs too much effort.
Finally, I found that HTML is the most suitable choice—styling is easy and results in a clean layout, and my goal is simply to translate and read comfortably. With this approach, I'll continue to improve it later and use it to help me read English books.
Today I saw Vercel's Lab open-source portless, which allows accessing local projects without using port numbers and eliminates the need to worry about port conflicts.

In the early stages of MVP, the priority should be on making rational decisions in business logic and focusing on running through core processes, with monolithic applications and local development being prioritized. UI, interaction, permissions, deployment, etc., should be addressed in subsequent phases.
It's crucial to avoid wasting energy on non-core aspects, reduce cognitive load, and quickly validate feasibility.
Matt Pocock Skills is truly impressive!
AI is no longer just working in isolation, crafting a plan and then spewing out a solution without engaging in the process. Instead, it starts by raising questions based on my product ideas, addressing each point one by one. If there are doubts, it provides feedback, then proceeds to analyze and confirm.
The rhythm is perfectly balanced—it draws me into the product design process. This sense of collaboration is fantastic. It doesn’t just hand me a complete solution outright; it avoids wasting tokens by working in isolation.
Everyone can learn to cook, yet restaurants and fast-food chains haven't disappeared.
Ingredients and recipes are abundant, even with step-by-step tutorial videos available, but many people still choose to order takeout.
This indicates that demands are diverse, and most things cannot remain scarce indefinitely.
What's truly scarce is exceptional taste, quality, dining experience, and service.
